Junga, Harold
We were on patrol in the Phu Naun’s (notorious for booby traps). We were setting up for the night on a small hill and Sgt. Junga went into some bamboo to cut tent stakes when he or other Marines set off a large booby trap. I was a little ways down the hill digging a fighting hole when the explosion occurred; I looked up and saw the fire, smoke, and debris. At first we thought we were under attack but soon realized what had happened. On the same day on the same hill we had 4 or 5 medivaced out. I can say he was a good man and Marine, I was proud to serve with him.
